Wendy's: Trying To Get On The Righteous Path!

In an effort to cut Trans Fat consumption, Wendy's is going to non-partially hydrogenated oils for cooking. Adding hydrogen to oil helps make the oil easier to cook with and also adds a longer shelf life to products as well as drastically increasing the risk for heart disease. The country’s third-largest burger chain said the blend of corn and soy oil has zero grams of artery-clogging trans fat per serving and will cut trans fat in those menu items by 95 percent. Wendy’s will begin using the oil in its 6,300 restaurants in the U.S. and Canada in August.
